Shape Sensing, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance of the Continuum Manipulator in Confined Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An integrated sensing framework combines capacitive sensors, IMU, and laser array sensor. The shape reconstruction is finished by backpropagation neural network. Accurate shape estimation (relative error of 1.04%) is maintained under a 110 g tip load, while a miniaturized VL6180X array enables local environmental reconstruction and reactive obstacle ...

Using pre‐ and post‐entry data to identify the effect of ethanol plant entry on the spatial pattern of corn prices: A study in Indiana

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the long‐run effect of ethanol plant entry on local corn prices using a long‐horizon difference‐in‐differences framework that combines matching with fixed effects while explicitly accounting for treatment intensity and spatial heterogeneity.

Astrocyte SMN Restoration and Forskolin Treatment Improve SMA Synaptic Pathology

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Early phenotypic presentation of central afferent synapse dysfunction within patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) represents a key target for therapeutic development; however, the underlying disease mechanisms remain unresolved. By further investigating motor neuron synapse and peri‐synaptic astrocyte process (PAP) defects in human SMA

Covalent Immobilisation of PVA‐MA Hydrogels on Plasma‐Activated Coatings: Achieving Superior Adhesion by Reagent‐Free Formation of a Nanoscale Primer Layer

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Robust attachment of hydrogels to solid substrates is critical to success in cell culture where hydrostatic and contractile forces can contribute to delamination of weakly adhered gels. This novel approach forms a nanometer‐scale, reagent‐free hydrogel primer layer to provide improved resistance to delamination of subsequent bulk hydrogel layers in a ...

Evolution of the male reproductive system in Penaeoidea (Dendrobranchiata): Integrating morphological and molecular data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Penaeoidea shrimps exhibit substantial diversity in reproductive morphology, but the evolutionary history of the male reproductive system (MRS) and its congruence with molecular phylogenies remain poorly understood. This study characterized MRS morphology across Penaeoidea and used these morphological data, together with a molecular phylogeny ...
